As someone who’s always wanted to go scuba diving and somehow never gotten around to it, I was pretty excited by the theme of this game, and developer Monster And Monster don’t disappoint.

Teleglitch has randomly generated levels that revolve around a story of science gone awry. The world is reconfiguring itself (hence the random) because of some experiments in teleportation and genetics then went royally tits-up. The levels hold a similar theme but the layout of the map changes with each play. There are destructible walls and moveable objects too, making for dynamic environments with hidden areas.

You start off with only your trusty pistol and knife combo. You’ll run out of bullets before long too, meaning you’re gonna need to know how to use a blade.

You’ll never feel 100% confident in your weapon-ability as each new baddy packs a real punch, making combat an engaging challenge.
